[quote=Anonymous]Op this is a really unconscionable response to someone finally sharing what has likely really been going on this whole time and caused the rift in your relationship to begin with. I hope your sister continues to stay away from you all for her own mental health since it sounds like no one in the family is willing to hear her experience with empathy and actually hold anyone accountable, which is why she waited til this moment to share because she knew you were already upset so could expect that you wouldn’t have a good response. This was in a way safer for her because the disappointment and wounds of telling you in a time you’re getting along and having what she suspected would happen happen (you be dismissive or somehow blame her for how she handled it/is telling her now) was too painful to risk. So she told you in a time she could feel certain you would respond poorly so she wasn’t further disappointed.

This is hard op - no one wants to hear what you heard but the likelihood it’s not coming from a place of truth is very low. Take some time to process tbat and started placing your blame elsewhere. [/quote]
